The Reuter Family Loves Cooking Together

Stuffed Cabbage - Halupki

My grandmother emigrated from Czechoslovakia sometime during the early 1900’s and settled in The Anthracite Coal Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. One of my earliest memory in life is of her making Stuffed Cabbage at her home in Natalie Pennsylvania. I can remember the smell of these cooking on her stove on a Sunday morning and at the same time I remember my older brother trying to teach me how to tell time on the clock that was hanging on her living room wall.

Our family continues the Tradition of making these together here in America generation after generation. The Reuter Family LOVES Cooking Together.

 

Homemade Ravioli

Dominique came home from College to visit for a few days so we’re doing a little “Father-Daughter bonding together in the kitchen today. We’re making a family favorite, “Homemade Italian Ravioli”. Our recipe has been in the “Italian Side” of our family for many generations and we’re keeping up the tradition by passing it on to the next generation.

Today, we made 14 dozen and 4 “Raviolo” and my job was making the dough and running The Pasta Machine.

Stuffing, Crimping and Cutting Ravioli

Making Ravioli is a two to three day process for our family. First, we open a bottle of Red Wine. Then, we make the filling, we make the pasta dough, we grind the filling, we stuff the pasta, we crimp the pasta dough and we make sure never to run out of wine.

Stay tuned as I learn how to make a Single Espresso, a Double Espresso, an Americano, a Lungo, a Corrado, a Cappuccino, a Macchiato, a Caffe Latte and a Flat White. Today, I think Barista Dave is going to kick off the day with a CLASSIC ESPRESSO

Chai Apple Pie

Dominique was home for a few days for the Thanksgiving and she made a new dessert for the family. We’re waiting for it to cool then we’re going to bring out some Ice Cream and slice up some WARM CHAI APPLE PIE.
